LJ, I assume your reason for posting this garbage is to show how worthless this guy is for a source on anything ... and that would include Tulsi Gabbard.
Now I don’t want to appear to be a Devil’s advocate for Tulsi; but, I’ll just mention again that she is a Hindu. The fact the Hindus have gurus does not mean they are in a cult. It’s an aspect of the religion, part of their yoga.
I would venture to guess that the majority of Hindu Americans are Trump supporters and patriotic Americans. Of course we would prefer politicians who are good Christians; but Hindus, to me, are not harmful to the republic, i.e., nothing like sharia law that gets in the way of adherence to our laws and Constitution.
What’s wrong with Tulsi is her socialism, abortionism and global-warmism. On the other hand, she does seem to favor tariffs, does not appear to be completely bought off by corruption, and at one time was an outspoken opponent of gay marriage. So, to me, she is not the worst RAT.
I totally agree with you, and that is why I posted the garbage to show what else the freak is pushing. Remeber when Trump and Modi spoke at a huge even in, IIRC, Dallas a couple of months ago or so? 50,000 Indian Americans in attendance, all supporting Trump. Majority were no doubt Hindus.
Kind of an odd tweat from ICE

I’m posting blind and behind. I guess this will be just shy of 300 that I haven’t read.
I made some wonderful broccoli and Tillamook cheddar soup last night. Boy be careful not to make the bread bowl too big. Very filling.
Is there anyone that can tell me whether we can card and spin dog hair? I gave my wonderful lab boy and the beautiful little German Shepherd princess salon this evening. Ended up with a pile of fine hair.
As the Shepherd says, it’s not hair. It’s golden fibers of love that surround her. Hah.
I found out today my little brother died. Unexpectedly at 50 years old. No major health issues. No wife or kids. Just found on the floor of his apartment. Dead. Please send prayers for the family to heal. We’re in a bit of shock.
Thank you.
I haven’t read ahead yet.. but he admitted it was his account. I voted for him.. yes I did. But he’s a dork. He is. Delecto?? Wow, think highly much of yourself, Mitt??

Will join you in prayers.

Sorry to hear of the loss of your brother.
So sudden and shocking news .
Prayers for you and family.
God’s grace is and will be with you Kit, and your brother and your whole family.
One of my Real Estate Ventures had appreciated so much - located 40 Minutes from Branson, and now in Springfield city limits—that I decided to sell it.
That reduced my Real Estate from 60% to around 30%. Now we are cash heavy and spending it— I hope to acquire the lot directly behind us. That would give us 1.5 Acres where our home is. We are building a storage shed over a basement/storm/root cellar with some of the proceeds.
We are going to set up a standby generator, and look into solar and or wind power to back up that for the well pump.
I’d say get out of debt—I would not be able to sleep if things imploded and I had debt. YMMV
Don’t forget about investing in food—prices will go up. In my budget/retirement plan, we calculated that prices would double the first half and triple the last half.
We have purchased some long term stuff(20-30 year shelf life) each year with our minimum distribution IRA withdrawals—food for emergencies. We do buy a lot of stuff on sale by the case from the local grocery—stuff we eat all the time. Stock up on 6-12 months.
I think a balanced portfolio could contain 10-20% Precious Metals-maybe more. I’d consider buying Precious Metals to pay the property taxes too—in case of melt down or great inflation.
It’s a tricky situation with your pension. I did take a lump sum and rolled it over into a self-directed IRA—but that was right before the dot.com bust. So the market did not do as well as I had hoped.
I did liquidate half of my stocks and funds in IRAs in 2007. That gave me enough cash to pay off debts, if I should need to make a withdrawal. Did not need to though, so I’ll just keep it there in case of medical emergency.
I took the lump sum pension, because I was afraid the company would not honor the pension. We had a lot of people in St. Louis that lost their pensions at a number of companies at the time I retired so that was on my mind then.
I haven’t checked to see if the market is fully valued or not. If it is or if overvalued, then it’s
Pay off debt
Park some cash somewhere
Real Estate (not REITS)
Precious Metals: Silver and Gold.
I read several books about preparing for emergencies. One author pointed out that some rich people in Europe have survived a lot of ups and downs. Thei wealth was portable. They took the bag of gold, rolled up their paintings, took their deeds and important papers.
When the crisis passed, they came back and claimed their property, rehung their paintings, and got on with their life.
My best investment turned out to be the Real Estate. Close enough to a city to more than double every decade. I had a 334% return for the 33 years—A little more than 10%/year.
Market returns during that same time was less than 6% for mutual funds “professional Management”. My own portfolio did better, but I used that to live on during the early part of my retirement.
Good luck to you—hope you figure it out.
Funny thing is I am seeing her getting all the credit for this but I saw it yesterday, before she ever tweeted it... Not saying she did not cause it to be created, just saying I saw it at least 12 hours before the time stamp on her post.
sorry to hear of your brother’s death.
Prayers up. My brother passed away at age 50 many years ago. It can really be a shock. So sorry for your loss.
Well that's settled, in case there was any question as to Nikki Haley's derptitude.
